Table Overview

A table (sometimes referred to as a map) is a group of values representing the output on two or more axes where each value is a cell in a table. Tables are often used by a host computer as a lookup mechanism for a particular functionality. For instance, the spark advance to be applied at a given load and RPM might be represented as a 3D table in a binary where the X axis is the load, Y is the RPM, and Z is the output - the spark advance . Similarly, the idle speed for a given coolant temperature might be represented as a 2D table where the dependent (fixed) axis is the temperature, and the independent (variable or output) axis is the the idle RPM.

The Table Editor

 


The Table Editor

To edit a table, double click the table you wish to edit in the table list. This brings up the table editor. Edit the values you wish to edit using the same guidelines as the constants.

Range Selection

You can select a range of cells in a table by either left-clicking on the first cell in the range and, while holding the mouse button, dragging the mouse to the last cell in the range. Alternately you may click in the first cell, press and hold the shift-key, and click once in the last cell in the range. With a range of cells selected, you can increment or decrement the values in the selection range all at once, or make use of the table functions in the table editor toolbox to modify the selected range. You can also copy and paste data to and from the selected range.

Copying/Pasting

Table data can be copied to and pasted from the Windows clipboard. Once you've selected a cell or range of cells in the editor, you can copy the data to the clipboard by either pressing control + c or by right-clicking in the table and selecting "Copy Selection". Once data is copied to the clipboard it can be pasted elsewhere into the table or into another program such as Microsoft Excel.

To paste data into a table, select the first cell at which you'd like to paste the data and hit control + v, or right-click in the table and select "Paste starting at cursor". Note: when pasting data into the table, the data in the clipboard must be able to fit in the table, and fit within the space provided by the current cursor location and the bounds of the table. If this requirement is not met, the data will not be pasted.

Table Tools

The table editor toolbar has a group in it that allows you to edit the current selection with special functions, such as smooth, offset, multiply, etc. This allows you to, for instance, multiply an entire row, column, or table by a desired factor, or add to an entire column.

Note that these functions can only be used when viewing calculated values. That is to say, it will not work if you're viewing raw hex.

To do so:

Address Hit Tracing

Some emulation hardware, such as the Xtronics Romulator and Moates Ostrich 2.0, can monitor the host computer for requests within a certain address range. TunerPro can display these requests to the user if they fall within the range of a table. To enable this functionality:

  1. Ensure your hardware is attached and initialized
  2. Open the table you wish to trace
  3. Hit the Address Trace button ('A') in the table editor's toolbar
